Sitting within Corporate Finance, this role provides leadership on complex accounting matters, oversees statutory financial statements for EDF's UK entities, and drives process improvements through automation and enhanced financial controls.

Your rewards package includes a choice of benefits, such as electric vehicle leasing, enhanced parental leave, health insurance, discounts, and employee pricing.

Flexible working means you can work from home (if you wish) and we'll provide a suite of IT equipment to ensure that you can work remotely comfortably and effectively. We work out of London 2-3 times a week, depending on business needs.

At EDF, everyone's welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and where you feel confident being yourself. We're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We'd like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.

We're a disability confident employer and we'll do all we can to help with your application, making adjustments as you need.

We'll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed.
